Host ER stress during malaria parasite infection.
After transmission by Anopheles mosquitoes, malaria parasite sporozoites target the liver, where they infect hepatocytes and multiply thousands of times. The release of new parasites into the blood stream then initiates symptomatic red blood cell infection. Although successful replication within hepatocytes is critical for host infection, little is known about parasite–hepatocyte interactions t...
متن کاملHost Cell Phosphatidylcholine Is a Key Mediator of Malaria Parasite Survival during Liver Stage Infection
During invasion, Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, wraps itself in a parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM), which constitutes a critical interface between the parasite and its host cell. Within hepatocytes, each Plasmodium sporozoite generates thousands of new parasites, creating high demand for lipids to support this replication and enlarge the PVM. Here, a global analysis of the to...
متن کاملFactors influencing infection patterns of trophically transmitted parasites among a fish community: host diet, host-parasite compatibility or both?
Parasite infection patterns were compared with the occurrence of their intermediate hosts in the diet of nine sympatric fish species in a New Zealand lake. Stomach contents and infection levels of three gastrointestinal helminth species were examined from the entire fish community. The results highlighted some links between fish host diet and the flow of trophically transmitted helminths. Stoma...
متن کاملParasite infection and host group size: a meta-analytical review
Many studies have identified various host behavioural and ecological traits that are associated with parasite infection, including host gregariousness. By use of meta-analyses, we investigated to what degree parasite prevalence, intensity and species richness are correlated with group size in gregarious species. We predicted that larger groups would have more parasites and higher parasite speci...
متن کاملDo apicomplexan parasite-encoded proteins act as both ligands and receptors during host cell invasion?
Apicomplexan parasites are responsible for a wide range of diseases in animals, including humans, in whom Plasmodium species cause the devastating disease malaria. Several recent discoveries now indicate that these intracellular parasites may use a conserved mechanism to infect their host cells by using parasite-encoded proteins as both parasite ligands and receptors anchored to the host cells.
